Modifying the Whois / Contact Details of a .UK Domain Name

Understanding .UK domain name Contacts

A .UK domain name displays only 1 Contact when performing a Whois lookup:

Registrant Contact: This contact represents the owner of the domain name.

Note

There are no Administrative, Technical and Billing Contacts for .UK domain names.

Additional Information

Registrants who are non-trading individuals (those who do not use or plan to use their domain name for business, trade [including registration of domain names for monetization purposes] or professional transactions) can choose to opt out of having their Contact Details displayed in the Whois lookup.

This option can be enabled by the Registrant from within his Nominet control panel.

Service Contact: If the country of the Registrant Contact is not UK in case of a 2nd Level .UK domain name, then an additional Service Contact must be specified at the time of Registration or Contact Modification. This Contact must have a valid UK address, with the country being United Kingdom (GB), Isle of Man (IM), Jersey (JE) or Guernsey (GG). The Registry will send all physical communication intended for the domain name to this address.

General Contacts used for other domain name extensions (TLDs) can not be used for a .UK domain name. A .UK domain name has a separate Contacts database.

To Modify the Registrant Contact Details (except the Identity) of a .UK domain name

Note

For modifying the Identity(Anchor: identity) of the Registrant Contact of a .UK domain name, the current Registrant will be billed directly by the .UK Registry.

Identity refers to:

Name of the Registrant Contact, if the Registrant Contact is an individual

Company Name of the Registrant Contact, if the Registrant Contact is a non-individual
